there's proportional representation of noble self-intoxicating normal people within the subset of people who choose the lifestyle of choosing homosexual impulse, meaning the effects stack and even out, therefore actually being gay is harder, op. qed

It's a matter of calculating total suffering. More people suffer in the USA because of cannabis prohibition than because of anti-gay bias. That's because there are a lot of cannabis smokers compared to gay people, and we arrest people for cannabis related activities and not for gay related ones.

You said "the subway". That's an actual thing for people who live in real cities. "Subway" is where you go to eat alone.

you're conflating absolute and relative numbers to apply a utilitarian ethical distinction caeteris paribus to affirm a disjunct

If society totally ignored gay issues but instead addressed marijuana prohibition, more total societal suffering could have been prevented as a greater number of people were targeted/arrested/killed cause of weed prohibition than cause of being gay (in the usa). You cannot argue with this logic.

let's say you take 3 lengths of toilet paper of 6 squares each, folded upon themselves and slightly moistened with tap water, to adequately wipe all the poo off your butt. hypothetically, if you could know the result of choosing to do that before you sat down to poop, could you use the same amount and type of toilet paper to clean your butt more efficiently by wiping and pooing at the same time, OR, do you contend that each bit of poo to come out of your butt would sully your posterior anew, and would not that, sir, would not that suggest that we've merely to poo ALL of our poo, ALL of our poo, at once, and wipe too but once, to clean the pooy buttholes of the fece what ails them?

Counterpoint:

Like it or not, it's impossible to argue that the spread of AIDS wasn't driven primarily because of the casual sex mentality of gay men. If it weren't for this unprecedented spread, it wouldn't have become the clause du jour. Nor would it have gotten the research that it received. While there is still no cure, the speed of advances in medicine for a disease in the time frame they were made in have never been matched in medical history.

Consequently, testing for the disease wouldn't be so prevalent, allowing for the infection of many, many more people. Without the aforementioned medical advances, it would still be a death sentence.

Edit: before anyone says that AIDS research isn't a gay rights issue, they're ignorant of the societal attitude towards the disease throughout the 80's.

There is no conflation as the total numbers of victims of each type of prejudice (anti-gay, anti-weed user) contribute different quantity of suffering to society, with one contributing greater quantity of suffering than the other, but the lesser one being prioritized by liberals because it's the one that elites prefer to stand up against. In short, liberals have stood up for gay rights for the same reason they have largely been silent on the suffering of Palestinians: Because it's what elites want. And by "liberal" I mean "Liberal establishment" not all liberals.
